Yooo that was a good episode! Shinso's new ability is so cool! MHA is really good at having creative uses with its powers.

I think this episode was actually pretty cool because it gave a glimpse of what the Class A vs Class B fight is gonna be about while also setting up the question of the vision/dream that Midoriya saw about the Vestiges.

Also, more Shinso as well as other Class B characters getting more development is really cool to see, so far, the season looks like it's gonna be pretty good.

Pretty decent episode. Shinso's outfit looks cool. Especially the mask.

Surprised no has brought up Monoma. Probably had the most speaking lines. Dude brought a whole graph (from a biased study) to flex on class A. But seriously Class 1B barely said anything outside Monoma. Even if you don't like him, he largely defines the class being the one with the most personality.

This episode had quite a few flashbacks. I hope the next few episodes aren't like that. Want this arc to be concise as possible. Shinzo gets so much love despite barely showing up and that's just how cool his character is. Looking forward to see him get this fight to show off

It's nice to have Shinsou back so we can see his growth and what he's now capable of. Let's hope the anime makes this arc more enjoyable, as I didn't really care for it in the manga. Hopefully it doesn't get dragged out too much either, since that might cause a lot of people to drop the season.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

I'm so glad Shinso is back, he was great at the festival and I love how straight forward he is, not asking any pity, and how it hurts him when people always tell him how good of a villain quirks he has, funnily enough yet another person I would very much rather have One for All lol, Deku is so bland.

Bruh everyone talking about Shinso and then saying "manga readers lmao", I went to Boku no Hero wiki to spoil myself, but it seems their fandom wiki only updates with the anime, not the manga, I can't even spoil myself to know what they are talking about.

Looks like Class B aren't a pushover. They got some new tricks up their sleeves. It'll be interesting to see how this battle goes down especially since Shinsou seems to be the game changer.

This episode once again proved why I believe Soundtrack is far more important than animation. The new OST when Shinso was giving his speech slowly gave so much tension to the scene that I couldn't blink. The other song where they present which group of people will be fighting was also amazing to managed to keep the tension in the air. Those 2 scenes alone are much more impactful than any sakuga scene from JJK or KNY.

So the battle royale between Class A and B has begun and Shinso will be participating for both classes. It seems Shinso has something to prove and his brainwashing quirk has already prove to be very useful.

Ngl, I was thinking about how Shinso could make his quirk more powerful with like a voice changer in his mask made by someone from the support course, but it looks like that was already thought of lol

Biggest pile of BS I've ever heard; that Shinso is behind everyone else on the Hero Course. Despite being on the General Course all this time, his quirk is so incredible that with it being used the right way he's overwhelming Class B already. He was made for the Hero Course.

It's really unnecessary and quite a waste of time with how scenes from past seasons keep being shown in order to remind everyone of key events. There are only a limited amount of eps each season and we don't have time to keep going over that shit in such detail and it kinda drags out the arc that's happening right now.

Shinso is back !!! X)

I was really waiting for him in the hero course. I knew that wasn't the last time I saw him. He will be back and he has. Now with some more cool upgrades. He looks like Aizawa now. Deku is also happy but now they will face each other. These fights are going to be amazing. Deku has a perfect team though. They work with each other very amazingly.


I hope Katsuki will show us something amazing this time also. I wonder what happened to Amajiki XD !!!


Op review: The op is nice. Nothing to say more though. :)

So the battle finally begins :D It's been a while since we last saw Shinso, so it was nice to see him again :) It's great to know the teacher take Shinso and put him to good use with his own quirk so he can have propper hero experience. Can't wait to see Shinso do more in action! Let's see what he got to show us ^^ Great episode by the way!

I like how All Might and Deku had their talk about Deku's dream and then fanboying over Nana Shimura, I mean I would too. I thought it was funny when Uraraka heard Hatsume she punched herself in the face. I'm glad to see Shinso finally making his way towards his dream of being a hero and that mask is cool. Also, I'm happy to see Ibara again, she was my favorite during the Sports Festival.

Nice episode.

Pacing is probably the only real problem, but that also means that the next episode is gonna be 100% action and we should be done with the first match by the end of it.
If any battle but the last one goes on for longer than one ep imma fear people are gonna feel bored since the stakes of the arc are definetly not what keeps people awake.

That said, this season looks really really good, we didn't have crazy animation yet, but the level of overall polish on the character designs is already superior to S4. And the preview looks great.

If this season is actually the return to the quality of the first 3 I'll consider it a miracle, and a shame in regards to S4.

Is Midoriya finally going to get some proper One For All training from All Might? Or, even better, some tutelage from a vestige? I'm kinda tired of Midoriya having to make all his strides on his own when he has such a valuable resource at his disposal.

They are students TRAINING to be heroes, keyword: TRAINING. I mean, what would you do if you did study to become a hero and know how to function in troublesome situations? Of course - TRAINING.

God, I am tired to hear the same complaints. Yes, it is getting a bit repetitive, but at least there are reasons for them to train.

Best episode of the season so far. The class 1 vs 2 matches really bring back memories from season 2 and I love it.

I'm looking forward to all the training, learning everyone's abilities and hopefully seeing some good animation.

I always describe MHA as being 95% filler and 5% absolute banger emotional sakuga peaks that hit like nothing else. Gotta wade thru the crap but you get united states of smash, prominence burn, You Say Run, and other similar moments 1-2 times per season. I just stick around trusting that the 5% is coming...

I'm up to date with the manga and all but not gonna lie, I don't feel the hype surrounding this anime anymore, after the awesome All-Might vs AFO fight the anime/manga started going downhill for me but I will finish the anime/manga anyway, I dislike dropping stuff once I'm deep into it.

Shinsou is pretty awesome though, he's one of the most interesting characters IMHO and deserves more screen time.

Woo, another training arc. It's not like these have been done to deaths in this show. You'd think by now the students at UA would have moved on from this stuff. Maybe they're all just retarded and can't learn properly.
